Of course you'd be the experts with the deaths of patients in their 20's. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You know all of this is tragic. The point is we learned a terrible lesson with communication. Unfortunately your company didn't. Come on man wake up! You know what's happening to a very high percentage of these leads. Would you let your mother have one of your shock leads? What are you guys trying to do?
Interesting point. You learned about communication but not quality. Would you let your Mother have any BSX device made since 2005? You communicating a failure rate that is CURRENTLY 26/233K. Will that go up? Almost certainly.! So how do you feel walking in to that implant?
Absolutely yes u would. We continuously improve devices and while we openly communicate the failure rates are very low and devices overall performance are well above industry standards. Read the whole thread again b/c I've addressed all these moronic statements by you st junk reps. Now answer my question - would you allow your mother to have a Durata lead? So far you've answered 0 questions and I know why.
Bullshit , you would. Get the fuck off here. You seriously expect us to believe that you would give a device that's on 5,6,7,8 ,who knows how many, separate recalls to one of your family.
Man you are sick......!!!
Most reliable devices on the market. We report you don't. We improve you don't. So why haven't you reported on Atlas batteries? I've changed out 3 that came in DOA. No therapy, no telemetry. Now that's scary. I will take BSC/mdt over stj any day. Now for once in your slimy career answer a question! I'm assuming you would never allow someone you love to get a stj shock lead or lv lead. If you survive the perf how long will it last? Please stop selling that lead. Your patients will thank you and your customers will respect you.
Of course.
I doubt whether you will be, you'll have another recall letter on C/T by then..!

Man you are slow. The question I asked last week has yet to be answered. Here it is again. Would you allow your mother to have a Durata (we are assuming she will live > 5 years so the failure mechanisms will have time to manifest)?
Anyone out there in cp land have a guess as to why the stj rep won't answer the mans question?
Most reliable devices on the market. Jesus!! How deluded are you.
You work for the most unreliable device company in history. You don't improve at all, that's the whole point. You just tell customers and patients that you have sold them products that kill people time and time again.
Answer the question dipshit. Tick tick tick......
I do applaud you for being the only one stupid enough to stand up for st junk. You must be Dan Starks!!!

St. Jude releases a PPR that stresses no problems whatsoever with Durata. hmmm. (from the website):
"The performance results for the combined Optim lead registries, for data collected through Feb. 29, 2012, include:
-- No instances of externalized conductors caused by inside-out abrasion
-- 99.96 percent rate of freedom from all-cause insulation abrasion
-- 99.84 percent rate of freedom from all-cause mechanical failure
"The performance data from the combined registries confirm that the Durata lead performs, at five years, as well as or better than other ICD leads on the market," said Dr. Charles Love, Professor of Medicine and Director of Cardiac Rhythm Device Services, Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University. "These data demonstrate that the changes in design and addition of Optim insulation material on St. Jude Medical's current-generation leads have significantly reduced the abrasion-related issues associated with Riata silicone-only leads."
St. Jude Medical also announced today that the largest of the three registries, the OPTIMUM registry, will be enhanced to further extend the study's follow-up duration to follow patients indefinitely. In addition, the registry protocol is currently in the process of implementing plans to collect fluoroscopic images of these leads going forward. This expanded protocol will provide additional insight into the performance of our current-generation leads.
"Our bi-annual product performance report is part of our commitment to providing physicians complete and accurate information so they can make decisions about how to best treat their patients," said Eric S. Fain, M.D., president of the St. Jude Medical Cardiac Rhythm Management Division. "The combined registry data on our Optim leads represent the most robust post-market surveillance monitoring system in the ICD industry, which will also be independently verified by a third-party research institution. We are committed to ensuring that we deliver the highest quality devices possible."

Please tell us about electrical failures? (ie. the HV wires erode to the coils and short)

First this douche needs to tell me if he'd allow his mother to have a Durata. I'm guessing his answer is hell no. What a loser. I can't believe anyone implants this crap.
Must be at the booth sucking your thumb and can't bring it together enough to answer the question. What a dumbass. On here blasting other companies when he wouldn't even let his mother have a lead from his own. On the other hand maybe he had a Durata and is no longer around to answer.
Yes of course I would, just like you said yes about your Mother and your BSX pos....!
The losers on here are the BSX Reps who have been taking it Deliverance style for years. Try to talk about your own stuff for fucks sake.
